You've submitted a casting application - brilliant!

But what happens to your submission after you've clicked SEND?

Checking #

First, our system automatically checks your submission. This makes very simple, very basic checks such as:

• Making sure you've included the right number of headshots, your CV, a showreel (when needed) and so on
• Checking you've submitted in the correct language

If this is fine, then your submission will go straight through.

Sometimes however, we might get back to you for extra information. Perhaps you forgot to add a certain type of picture, or maybe the link to your showreel wasn't working. If this is the case, you'll hear back from us within 24 hours.

Whatever the situation, you can always check the castings you've applied to and make sure the casting has gone through. If the casting is listed there, then it's on its way.

And then? #

In any case, you probably won't hear anything until at least the closing date of the casting.

Productions generally like to get all applications in and then decide which is the best, so don't expect to hear anything until the casting is officially closed.

If the production like what they see, they will get back to you. It might be an email offering you the job, it might be an email asking for more information, it might be an email asking you to self-tape a scene.

This can happen any time. You might hear from them 10 minutes after you sent your application. Or maybe 3 months after the casting closed. There's no telling when the casting might get back to you.

Occasionally, the production will also write back and tell you that you've been unsuccessful.

But more often than not, they will not write back to unsuccessful candidates. (If you're interested, here's why.)

So what do I do meanwhile?  #

Our advice is simple.

Send your submission and then forget about it. Move on to the next job and send another application. And then another. And another…

And sooner or later, you will get that email inviting you to be part of the cast!
